Reebok Shaq Victory Pump Reimagines O’Neal as a Tennis Pro
In an era where two-sport professional athletes were a common thing, there’s one man who most likely wouldn’t come to mind — Shaquille O’Neal. Diesel was extremely handy on the hardwood, but given his sheer size and brute strength, he probably wouldn’t cross over to another sport as easily as Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders. Perhaps he’d be suited to professional wrestling or boxing — but tennis? Absolutely not. Reebok doesn’t think so, in fact, Reebok is reimagining the Big Aristotle as a tour pro with this brand-new hybrid model called the Shaq Victory Pump.
Featuring a Shaq Attaq upper and the sole unit of the Court Victory Pump, the dual-sport trainer is not only hybrid in its design but also in its embellishments, including Pump systems that are half tennis ball, half basketball, and the rear Shaq silhouette showing the big man lobbing up a right arm missile from the baseline.
See for yourself below, and look for this classic crossover to hit select Reebok stockists and Reebok.com come February 17 for $180.
